An honest, friendly and professional team, with the quality to match.

Found this company online and after a site visit from Darren, I decided to go with his team to carry my out extension works to my home .. and I am so glad that I did. I had my existing lean too extension modernised with solid roof, cladding, rsj install, stud walls, plastering, electrics and plumbing so abit of everything. Very happy with the result and their attention to detail. Darren and his men took alot of pride in their work and always kept me updated on the progress. A very honest and competent team, I will definitely be using them again and would recommend to anyone.

I can't recommend Darren Epps Builders…

I can't recommend Darren Epps Builders enough. I received a prompt response, survey and quote for the building works to my house. Work commenced a few days later. The work was carried out to a high standard, with minimal disruption. Darren and his colleagues showed respect for my property and household possessions and demonstrated a professional and courteous work ethic. I have more work to be done on my house and will definitely be requesting this is carried out by Darren.

Highly recommended

We can't reccomend Darren and his team enough. We have had Darren at our house on and off for 18 months. They have built us a 2 storey extention with a showroom bedroom upstairs, downstairs an extra living room and extended our kitchen. We have had all our internal doors replaced along with double glazed windows and a new composite front door. Darren built us a bespoke garden gate and replaced our tired
driveway to a lovely blocked paved
drive with steps upto our front door to give safe access to our disabled son. Finally he came back and replaced our conservatory with a lovely tiled roof, new windows and french doors with a cladded outside and plastered inside with rooflights. While working on all these jobs he kept us updated with any issues and made sure he finished the work to an exceptionally
high standard. His men our polite and helpful at all times. They are tidy and respectful to all our neighbours.
We cant thank them all enough for
making our home exactly as we wanted it and for making a long job as easy as it could of been. If I had anything else that needed work done I wouldn't hesitate to get Darren and the boys back.

Garage conversion

Had a garage conversion done that turned out to be a tad complex. Darren & team were amazing and dealt with every element from start to finish and the job was amazing, incredibly happy with the result.

The advice given along the way was also incredibly valuable and things we would never have thought of.

Experience counts!

Thoroughly recommended

Darren and his team worked closely with us from start to finish of our bathroom project, including a few late changes of plan. They couldn't have been better and were a pleasure to have around. Not the cheapest (though not the most expensive either) but certainly the best builders we have used over the years.

Professional and friendly men.

We had a attic room that needed some work to make it a decent bedroom for my daughter. The stairs going up had to be relocated. The work the guys done, was done quickly and brilliantly. They made sure that it was tidied after each day, hoovered all mess before leaving. I was really impressed by the work done. Would definitely recommend Darren to anyone.

Unhesitatingly recommend

Darren is nearing completion on a significant project which is an extension, porch, patio and garage refurbishment.
He is both reassuring and realistic and both he and his team offer solutions and suggestions where they think they can add value to designs and our ideas.
He has an excellent team that we have thoroughly enjoyed having around and all his sub-contractors are first class. Of note is that they speak as highly of him as he does of them.
His communication is very good and he is open and transparent: happy to explain his techniques and methods.
I would unhesitatingly recommend Darren Epps, especially if you want someone that takes a genuine interest in what you are trying to achieve.

TFP - Building Work

Darren and his team have just completed significant building work to our offices and we couldn't be more delighted with outcome.
Darren is very keen, taking the time to listen and understand your requirements, as a result the outcome exceeds expectations.
The team were very professional and extremely conscientious throughout the build, making the whole experience a pleasant one from beginning to end.
I would like to give a special mention to Emma who works in the office, as she was very patient and always answered any concerns or questions relating to the work.
I would most definitely recommend Darren Epps to friends family and other companies.

Bathroom renovation.

Darren and his team came and refitted our bathroom. Very pleased with the professional job that they have done. All the workers were polite and nice to have around and tidied up at the end of each day. Emma always kept us up to date with communications throughout the job and the work was carried out to the original quotation.

We would not hesitate to Recommend Darren Epps builders and we hope to use them again for any future work we may require.

Many thanks
